Salt of the Earth&mdashRRC

Kevin Longfield steps front and centre to tell the story of William Cliffe, his grandfather.

Bill Cliffe was a child labourer in England before apprenticing as a blacksmith and coming to Canada in 1911. He worked on the Winnipeg Aqueduct before enlisting with the Royal Engineers and serving in Baghdad in World War I. Then his life became interesting.

Brian Richardson’s direction and Nancy Drake’s voice coaching helped to bring this story to life.
